Had a great stay at the Scandic Grand Central. The location was very convenient for transport to and from the airport by train and also for sightseeing and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable. I like the hotel and room decor. Breakfast buffet had a huge variety of tasty food and plenty of seating even on the weekend when it was extra busy.
